This service is ideal if you are busy, unable carry out your tests yourself or visit one of our locations. We will send a qualified clinician to your preferred location where they will carry out the blood tests. A quick and easy way to test your blood for the presence of the Hepatitis B virus.
Hepatitis B is an infection that is caused by the hepatitis B virus. This virus attacks and targets the liver which can result in both acute and chronic disease. Infection can be potentially life-threatening as damage to the liver caused by the virus accumulates leading to scarring and cirrhosis (a process in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with fibrosis scar tissue with impaired function). These individuals are placed at a high risk of death due to liver failure or liver cancer.
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be passed on from an individual that is infected with the virus to others through unprotected sex. Exposure may also occur when sharing used and contaminated needles as hepatitis B can be transmitted through blood to blood contact.
This test is perfect if:
The surface of the HBV is coated in proteins known as antigens. Detection of these antigens is indicative of a positive hepatitis B infection. Our Hepatitis B tracker is able to detect these antigens from anywhere between 1 to 8 weeks following HBV exposure.
We take the upmost care in ensuring we deliver reliable and accurate results. Therefore, to ensure this, if a blood sample is found to be positive for hepatitis B, the patient should purchase a second blood test to confirm the overall result.
Schedule a home nurse visit for your venous blood sample.
Our certified Healthcare Team member will come to your home for the collection.
Received the results within 24-48 hours.
